When someone says a URL works when you type it, you don't click it.

If anyone is dumb enough, you deserve whatever punishment TP has set up.

Also, Nicole/Cook, when will you guys be home today cuz I left my keys there (prolly on the couch I slept on).

well, first you add the 9 and the 3 together. So 12

Then you multiply that by 2, so 24

Then you add the 48 to the 24, so 72

PEMDAS

This is soooo easy. See first you solve (9+3), which equals *****. Then you can do the front part 48÷2, which is g'.

So the answer is g'*****.

Glad I could help.

Well what's the answer???

Ok so it's basically 48 ÷ 2 x (9+3)

9 + 3 = 12 yes?

Now we have 48 ÷ 2 x 12

You go left to right at this point so it gets to:

24 x 12 which is 288.

Understand?

I don't think thats right Jordan.
Youre supposed to do PEMDAS.
Doing pemdas you should get 288. I just did it basically in front of you lol. You aren't using the correct order of operations if you think that's wrong.

The only other possible answer is 2, but you only get that if you don't follow the rules simply. You should be going left to right because multiplying and dividing have the same priority in pemdas which gets you 288.

As a former engineer, I am very good at math.
The answer is 20
Within an order of magnitude and keeping to significant figures.

Honestly Jordan, I think you should trust Fuu's intuition, and Nuris' credentials from past work experience, over your 'I'm bad at math and even I know that'.

It looks like you're wrong because you're not adhering to all the rules available other than PEMDAS.

I have seen this before and the answer is 288 and the reason it is confusing is because it is written in a form that nobody would ever choose to write in. Namely, you don't use the division sign and then represent multiplication with parenthesis. You would use / for division or X for multiplication while keeping the other part the same to give it correct mathematical form. In other words, this is stupid.

My answer is neither wrong nor right.
It is sufficient, so to say, "close enough."
Seriously, I'm a chemist, I know a lot about math.

Ripple should change his name and main again. I'm thinking for name, he could go w/ 'fun killer' and for a character he could main 'ruins life'.

I like the whole chemistry approach anyways. I'm blunt, use blunt tools, blunt phrases, blunts. I like 'close enough'. Yay for 'just enough to get the job done'.

I recognized the trolling right away, and decided not to even respond.

Either way, TP summed it up.

Fwog, you talk to Kemo right? I was gonna give him some advice yesterday but forgot and now I'll never see him again. Could you tell him that if he's gonna use on aerial on Olimar's shield he should n-air and then jab immediately. If he does that the only thing Olimar can do is roll away. If he does any other aerial then Olimar can up-smash him.

It's funny because you took advantage of how nice and helpful Jordan is in order to troll him.

+1/(2÷2) for trolling.
-1÷1 for being mean to that nice ol' cutie pie. +

olimar can't do anything ever kemo doncha kno?
I'm pretty sure that I just said the opposite, that if he does anything but n-air>jab Olimar can up-smash him. It is a fact that Olimar cannot punish Falco's n-air>jab, whereas he can punish any other aerial; this is not subjective. I'm trying to help Kemo out with the matchup because I figure he probably doesn't get to play it much.

Well, you did pretty well for never having done it before, lol. Usually if someone doesn't know how to fight Olimar they get *****, haha.

I actually have Dolphin installed and running on my PC with Brawl and all that. I just haven't gotten my savegames migrated yet.
that's cool, then maybe you could help me with my hacks since I don't actually know how to do those.

I'd probably want music hacks, non distracting stage hacks, infinite (forced) replay. no character model hacks and another one with the exact same the but with no tripping code also

you'd probably have to walk me through how to use wii scrubber on the computer though

Yeah textures and all that are not my forte, I don't use them sorry :p

I can show you how to setup Dolphin, the Save Game, and put Gecko codes into it that's easy, but I don't mess with textures or custom stuff so I'm of no use to you for that. I haven't figured out how to migrate the replays yet :\
